I use RH and want to do installation without using Floppy disk and CD on
local PC. I faced problem when tried to follow as:
I have RedHat Linux 6.2 installed and wish to upgrade to 7.1. My PC is
without FDD and CDROM. So on some one's advise, I copied content of Linux
CD on FAT16 partition (E:\linux\cd0 under DOS directory, using cp in linux
through NFS ). Which has usual directories "RedHat"( subdirectories
"base", "RPMS" ), "images" etc. Now after booting in dos, I can start
e:\linux\cd0\dosutils>autoboot.bat [ Even this became a good excercise for
me as to get WIN-ME to boot in dos mode is not straight forward ].
Now it ask partition and directory containing images(iso 9660) of CD. On
giving /dev/hda12 ( i,e E: drive under dos ) and linux/cd0 , It says "
Device /dev/hda12 does appear to contain RedHat CDROM images ".
Is it possible to do installation / updrartion in this way. If yes, where
I am wrong and how to solve this problem?
Is there any way to copy CD content as ISO image on HDD.
